As your elected pro-life, pro-family, pro-traditional marriage Republican Committeeman, I would like to encourage youto get out and vote earlyOct 20 – Nov.2 or voteonNov. 4, 2014 in this important non-Presidential Election.

Here is some info on Rod Drobinski’s story that is posted on his website: http://www.roddrobinski.com/about. It tells you a lot of his worth as a potential State Representativeof Illinois, District 62, Lake County.

Rod Drobinski was born in Waukegan to Polish, immigrant parents. Blue collar workers, Rod’s parents stressed the importance of education and worked to provide Rod and his younger brother with the opportunity to attend and graduate from Carmel High School in Mundelein.

Motivated by his family’s focus on education, he continued onto the University of Notre Dame where he graduated with honors and was the first college graduate in his family. While attending Notre Dame, Rod’s mother began her long fight against breast cancer. With her encouragement Rod was accepted to law school at Georgetown University. During his time there, tragedy struck the family when they lost his father to a heart attack. After law school, Rod returned to Lake County to care for his motherduring her final years and serve his beloved community as an assistant state’s attorney.

As a prosecutorwith the Lake County State’s Attorney’s Officefor the past twelve years,Rod has beenan advocate for thousands of victims. He has convicted some of the worst felons in Lake County and today works in the gangs and narcotics division. Local police have benefited from his training on investigating, arresting and prosecuting drug induced homicides, gangs and narcotics cases.

Rod continues to carry on his family’s value of education. He has served as an English and math tutor for English-as-a-second-language (ESL) students through the Midtown Educational Foundation. His alma-mater, Carmel High School, has also embraced him as their speech and debate coach for the last seven years.

Service and community are both near and dear to Rod and he has proven that through the years in many ways. As an assistant state’s attorney, Rod has conducted numerous educational programs to civics groups, such as Exchange Clubs and Rotary Clubs all around Lake County about the growing threats of gangs and how to guard against identity theft.He has served on the Wauconda Police Commission, and currently is a trustee on the Fremont Public Library Board.

Rod has been a resident of Lake County for his entire life. Rod and his wife, Lisa, met in the courtroom when she was a public defender. Today, Lisa prosecutes child abuse and neglect cases in juvenile court. Together they have two children, Caitlin and Roddy, and call Wauconda home.

In their own experience raising a family, Lisa and Rod have experienced what many families throughout Illinois have felt. The cost of living has gone up, with even basic necessities like food and gas becoming more expensive. At the same time, many families are struggling with losing jobs and wages that aren’t keeping up. Instead of helping struggling families, politicians in Springfield do the bidding of lobbyists and special interests. Rod wants to go down to Springfield to fight for hard-working taxpayers. He will be a voice for those who just want to play by the rules and achieve the American Dream his parents lived out. Help bring back our state and vote Rod Drobinski for State Representative in our 62nd District.

Here are some pictures of Rod and his wife and family. They tell you a lot. Click onthe pictures to read the details.

Here is the Lake County Life PAC’s endorsement of Rod Drobinski, a strongly Pro-Life, Pro-Marriage, Pro-Family Candidatefor State Rep in District 62, compared to Sam Yingling who is a radical pro-abortion individual.

Here also is the latest news on Mr. Yingling: He believes Mr. Madigan’s Senate Bill (SB) 16 “is a good approach” to taking away 80 % of the IL State funding from schools in District 62 and re-distributing these funds to schools outside of District 62. This means that our schools will lose over $12,000,000. In Wauconda, for example, my school district would lose $3,600,000 per year. Mr. Madigan in addition wants to amend SB 16 to include raising your property taxes in District 62 to pay for this loss of educational state support. So a vote for Mr. Yingling is a vote to give away 80 % of your school district’s state funding and raise your property taxes to account for this loss!!Rep. Yingling is a nice man but he is beholding to Mr. Madigan to vote the way he says! So PLEASE VOTE FOR ROD DROBINSKI who, in contrast to Rep. Yingling, wants to roll your taxes back to the PRE-67% increase days of Governor Quinn.

Here is the Daily Herald’s listing of how much each school in District 62 will lose if SB 16 is passed:

So Vote for the Candidate of your choice, Rod Dobrinski or Sam Yingling/Mike Madigan. It’s up to you to fight for your kids future!

Rod Drobinski is “A Family Man you can Trust.” He is Daily Herald ENDORSED: “Drobinski offers the opportunity for more balance in the legislature, and he has our backing in the 62nd House District.” Rod will fight for: Property Tax Relief; Job Creation; :Lower Income Taxes; and Accountability. Rod firmly believes in…Term Limits- 8 & Out! No Pay Raises for State Legislators; and No Pensions for New State Legislators. He deserves our support; vote for Rod for 62nd District State Representative on Nov. 4, 2014!

Please click on the following Excel Spreadsheet (SS) in PDF formto find some, but not all (yet), of the details of voting results of the IL Primary race. These results include the Governor’s race but especially races of Wauconda Township and a few pertinent Lake County races. The SS is organized according to the Precincts of Wauconda Township, where I live. (Note: I will update and fill in further results tomorrow, Wednesday, March 19, 2014.) This was done.

In conclusion, on Wed., 3/19/2014, further Wauconda Township data at the clerk’s website was incorporated into the above SS as well as in the above summaries. Please let me know of any data errors you see between this post, the SS, and Willard Helander’s election results website indicated above. Thanks.

I hope the candidates and their supporters get a much deserved rest from all their hard campaigning, and that things will go very well for our State of Illinois in 2014.

Why will I vote for Jeri Atleson in the March 18, 2014 Republican Primary?

(Vote early: March 3-15, 2014)

1. Jeri Atleson is a “taxpayer advocate” who has the skill, compassion, and clear goal to help Lake County property owners know HOW to reduce their real estate taxes! She is not just interested in “bringing in the sheaves” of Lake County wealth from property owners whose taxes are too high and are sapping their financial strength. She is interested in being honest and fair to Lake County residents. She wants to educate and empower homeowners.

2. Jeri Atleson is not a “career politician.” To Jeri, being elected to be the Lake County, IL Treasurer would be “a service not a career (Karen Leoni, home owner, Ella Township).” (Jeri’s Republican Primary opponent David Stolman has served on the Lake County Board for 22 years.)

3. Jeri Atleson is an experienced and qualified Treasurer and Certified Public Accountant (CPA).

4. Amazingly, Jeri Atleson, her husband, and two children, are willing NOT to take a taxpayer funded pension. They are trusting God to supply their future needs.

5. Jeri Atleson will “freeze the budget” in the treasurer’s Office and control spending with wisdom and responsibility.

6. Finally, Jeri Atleson is a young, compassionate woman with the courage and commitment to run for this Lake County office of Treasurer in an often male-dominated context and sphere of influence.
